As an anaesthetic technician working in New Zealand, it is vital to be committed to professional development. The NZATS is New Zealand’s only dedicated society for Anaesthetic Technicians, and our primary function is on the continuous improvement of both our members and the wider speciality.

Becoming a member of the NZATS therefore is a key part of your career journey as an anaesthetic technician. Read more about NZATS membership below.
